Erythema Multiforme Major (EMM) is a rare hypersensitivity reaction that primarily affects the skin and mucosa, typically self-limiting. This case discusses a patient who developed severe EMM lesions after consuming nimesulide, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), for abdominal discomfort. Patient was admitted to the hospital, the drug was discontinued, and supportive measures such as pain management and fluid replacement were initiated. This case, being the first to identify nimesulide as a possible trigger for EMM, aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on this topic. It emphasizes the need for vigilance and swift intervention for unusual drug reactions.
重症多形红斑(EMM)是一种罕见的超敏反应,主要累及皮肤和黏膜,通常具有自限性。本病例讨论了一名患者,因腹部不适服用非甾体抗炎药(NSAID)尼美舒利后出现了严重的重症多形红斑皮损。患者入院后停用了该药物,并采取了疼痛管理和补液等支持措施。该病例是首例将尼美舒利确定为可能引发重症多形红斑的病例,旨在为该主题不断增长的知识体系做出贡献。它强调了对异常药物反应保持警惕并迅速干预的必要性。
